The nature of personal deixis in language acquisition: An enunciative approach
Abstract
In this article, we will try to argue the process of enunciation from the relation mother-baby, observing the use of the personal pronouns (personal deixis) used by the mother and her remarks on the baby’s speaking as a remark of the subjectivity process. Thus, we will rely on Benveniste’s reflections regarding the enunciative process, to what refers the functioning of the personal pronouns I-you. We have analyzed, in an interpretative way, longitudinal data in a relation mother-baby for 36 months of the baby’s life. The results show that, analyzing the personal deitics in this dialogical relation, it is possible to understand the corresponding discursive roles taken in this interaction as constitutives of its own subjectivity and yet the enunciative process performed by the child.
Key words: personal deixis, enunciation, subject constitution.
